Tutor Spotlights

Congratulations to Paul Lacy, November 2025 Tutor of the Month! 

Paul was matched with student Ming last spring, and they kicked off their lessons by discussing how to speak with doctors, what urgent care is for and how to navigate NJ Transit.  When Ming and his family recently moved to Hillsborough, Paul helped him understand the process for hiring movers, updating household accounts and introducing himself and his family to new neighbors.  When Paul explained to Ming that we “mow” the grass but don’t “mow” our hair, we are reminded that laughter is often a big part of the tutor/student relationship!

LVSC Journey. I completed my training in May 2024. Becoming a tutor was an opportunity to work with others to help them be successful members of their community through improved communication.

Memorable LVSC Moment: Tutoring and coaching my student on how to break the ice with his new neighbors and discussions around suburban habits, including “grass farming.”

Day Job:  IT Project Manager

Hobbies:  My two giant labs, hiking and AI.
